Can not write value to KNX OH3

Setup, Configuration and Use Installation
1

Hi.

I can not write a value to KNX from OH3, but I can read them.
Switches are working both ways.

This command should work:
KNXTermostatVarmekasett_VarmekasettSetpunktInn.sendCommand(temp)

I have checked the KNX bus and it does not receive anything.

What shall I do?

ROS

What’s in the log?

Nothing in the log.

Please show your configuration

What do you need?

0/1/1 is the one that is not working?

8

Yes.
But I have other things that also send a value and are not working.
Since it is not in the openhab log, I think the command never get executed.

9

Does it work if you use openhab:send ItemName Value on the karaf console? If that works, the problem is kn your rule. If it also doesn‘t work, it‘s a binding issue.

10

But is it not strange that ON/OFF signals go both ways and that I can read values from KNX?

I get no errors in the log, but it registered the sending in the log:

2021-05-16 15:09:04.100 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemCommandEvent ] - Item ‘KNXTermostatVarmekasett_VarmekasettSetpunktInn’ received command 23.45

2021-05-16 15:09:04.103 [INFO ] [penhab.event.ItemStatePredictedEvent] - Item ‘KNXTermostatVarmekasett_VarmekasettSetpunktInn’ predicted to become 23.45

2021-05-16 15:09:04.111 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemStateChangedEvent ] - Item ‘KNXTermostatVarmekasett_VarmekasettSetpunktInn’ changed from 23.46 °C to 23.45 °C

But nothing was on the KNX bus,

I shall try to use the console, but I have never used it and the Raspberry is in a cabinet in the basement. I shall try to connect to it.

Is that Item linked to any channel?

12

Yes it is. I have included the hole thing, scroll up :slight_smile:

13

The hole Thing does not show any links to any Item. (It’s not supposed to, you need to check elsewhere for that.)

14

It is linked to KNXTermostatVarmekasett_VarmekasettSetpunktInn.

I use UI to configure and add equipment into the model. No manual configuring, except for the KNX channels.

I have done everything “by the book” :slight_smile:

15

Which of the many "it"s? We could guess, but you have a problem you are investigating. Be sure.

16

Have you specified a dimension to the item? I had a similar issue where the write was ignored when I set the Temperature dimension on the item. This was on OH2 but I haven’t tested on OH3 so it might be the same.

17

Yes I have done that. This should not be a problem and I dont know where to look. Since there are no error in the log it is difficult.

18

So you removed the dimension and it still fails?

19

Looking at the code that might be your problem. There is no mapping for QuantityType, only for DecimalType and QuantityType does not extend DecimalType. Just guessing.

Edit: Confirmed. The binding does NOT support sending values with units. This fails:

    @Test
    public void testToDPTValueQuantityType() {
        assertEquals("23.1", new KNXCoreTypeMapper().toDPTValue(new QuantityType<>("23.1 °C"), "9.001"));
    }

Thanks Jan, shall I raise as bug/enhancement in github? ROS if you have units defined on your item then this will be you :+1:
